Asteroid Blues

A small Taskforce, commanded by Lùjūn zhōngwèi (Lieutnant) Cho, was send to the Hangar Areal oft the Spaceport, held by Haqquislam Forces.
ISS Reports indicated, that something was going on there, maybe some kind of Haqquislam Operation. So Cho, a loyal Zanshi Lieutnant and bis force, consisting of himself, two other Zanshi, a celestial guard, a Zúyông Invincible and two Hsien moved into action.
Cho was quite confident to break any resistance with brutal force and get a good look at the Haqquislam Operation before any reinforcements would arrive.

Shortly after Cho’s Team arrived at the Hangar site, they reconized movement in front oft them and got into positions to investigate. The Lieutnant and the two other Zanshi took positions behind a building on the right flank, while one Hsien took a stand behind a building in the middle oft their line. The other Hsien and the Zúyông hid behind a tank on the right flank while the celestial guard stayed behind, protecting the back of the Team.

Before anyone could move, a Bashi Bazouk appeared on the right side. The Zanshi on the right flank chose one oft the holo Echoes to shoot at and was gunned down by the Bashi Bazouk. In the resulting firefight, the Lieutnant himself got rid oft the Haqquislam trooper.
Meanwhile an Azrail was appearing at the center to halt the advance oft the Yu Jing heavy Infantry. The Hsien with the HMG placed himself behind a pile oft crates and his fire forced the Azrail to retreat wounded into full cvover, so the other Hsien and the Zúyong could get into defensive positions, wich allowed the three troopers to lay down an impressive volley oft surpressive fire down the street.

A team of five Gulams finally succeeded in killing the Hsien with the HMG. But Spendung all effotds in this task, the Haqquislam troops left the other Hsien enough room to go round the building on the left flank and first catch a druse mercenary by suprise and drop him, then finishing off the wounded Azrail.

The gulam Team’s sniper tried to get a good shooting position, but only managed to wound the Zúyông and forced him into cover. A prevously camouflaged Hawwa was now demasking himself on the right flank while seearching for equipment in a panolpy, but the extra armour he found could not save him from getting shot by the Zúyông.
The pressure was too high for the remaining Haqquislam forced, so they retreated and left the field to the Yu Jung soldiers.

The data found by Lùjūn zhōngwèi Cho an bis Team was encoded and it would need time to decrypt then, but it seemed, that something greater was going in than expected.
